FOR SURFERS:

I live with my best friend Brandon and my pup Kuma.

My loft is in the center of everything in the crossroads district. Penn Valley Park and Union Station are right around the corner, an easy 15 min walk to the city center, and right next to great veg food and authentic Mexican restaurants, cafes, bars, etc.

I can show you awesome places to enjoy the city, cook and chill, picnic at the dog park, go rock climbing in an underground gym, teach you to juggle, or even bring you to a circus class if you're interested!

FOR HOSTS AND SURFERS:

Kuma is the absolute sweetest ball of fluff you'll ever meet. She's 5 yrs, Husky/German Shepard. She's a rescue, gentle soul, loves big people, medium people, and little people. and cats.

Brandon is an incredible artist, has been doing tattoos for years and just moved from San Antonio, TX. He skates, does MMA, and cooks at a food and wine bar.

I'm an organic farmer for a non profit in Kansas City. I also love climbing, yoga, boxing, and aerial silks. I spent my past few years traveling, doing work exchanges in Europe on permaculture farms, natural building sites, hostels, orphanages, and summer camps.

WE LOVE having artists, people that love to cook, or can teach us sad folk to dance. If you're an artist you're welcome to throw some memories on our walls too ;)

BRING ON THE GOOD VIBES
